Has it been sitting for a long time? The brake shoes could be rusted to the drum. You'd need a puller in that case.'88 L- B6d-Sidedraft Dellorto Carbs-G-Series-Advanced Suspension

It's probably just pressure not releasing in the brake drums? One thing that's worked for me is to bolt the wheel back on and pound on it from the back. Should do it. Good luck.
PS Is the emergency brake working? The (clevis) pin on the back of the drum can get rusted which can cause problems with brake release. Try to clean, oil, and jerk or tap free.Original owner of silver grey carburetted 1989 Festiva. 105k km as of June 2006. 140k km as of June 2021.Comment
